War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Set aside for a minute the Joe/Vlad face-to-face on the shores of peaceful Lake Geneva, or even the nauseous, toxix Repubican party here in the US, seeking to erase democracy, or the outbreak of vicious gun violence that’s sweeping this country — mass shootings are being normalized by their countinous occurrence — or maybe a…
Beyond the anti-democratic horrors created by Republicans for this country’s immediate weeks and months, these ass-wipes are also endangering the not-so-distant future for the entire freaking planet — climate change is a most-way-real catastrophe and it’s not a matter of ‘if,’ but ‘when,’ which in reality is much-closer than even often-used so-called ‘around the corner.’…
(Illustration: US Drought Monitor, California, found here). Sunny but cooler than normal this Monday afternoon in California’s Central Valley, a seemingly off-day from the heat we’ve experienced the last week or so — yet the weather still carries the imprint of a scorched-earth era again, which appears part of our statehood status for the nowadays.…
(Illustration: Section of the Dash-E Lut desert, located in Iran. Image found here). Once considerd for a long time the hottest spot on earth, California’s own Death Valley, has now lost the hot seat to two other sites across the globe, according to a new study — Iran’s Lut Desert (pictured above), and the Sonoran…

Beyond the normal shitstorms of modern life in real time, probably and most-likely the greatest horror facing all of us here on planet earth inches forward quickly, though in a more-subtle motion, to a decisive break where we’d be f*cked no matter what we do —…
Hot! The operative word this Memorial Day here in California’s Central Valley — we’re forecast to hit triple-digits today for the first time this year (104-degrees) and the same hateful-heat is expected the next couple of days, then falling into the 90s toward the end of the week. My area is under what could easily…
As we wander through today’s bitter-sweet events, from Joe Biden ice cream comments about GQPers opposed to the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot commission to “Eat some chocolate chocolate chip,” to Mitch McConnell going in the opposite direction, pleading with Republican Senators to resist the commission as “a personal favor” to him, and all the similarly ridiculous…
Along with a shitload of other deadly stuff creepy-crawling about the worldwide landscape, more warnings today about the continued and worsening climate crisis with a new report-update again noting the situation is really worse than was figured last year — the Arctic is really heating-up, which is bad news for the rest of our planet:…
In seemingly a preview to the near future, Joe Biden in aviator shades and cracking wise, test drove an electric truck today during a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan — net-zero emissions the key also today in a landmark climate report making it clear fossil fuels have no place in humans surviving climate…
(Illustration: ‘Climate Change,’ acrylic and watercolor on canvas, by Mina Bedogne, and found here). As time goes on, we’ll discover the T-Rump’s period in the Oval Office was way-worse then we even supposed, which was shitty beyond shitty, and we knew he hated climate change like he hated taking a bath. He let the clock…
